Daughter accuses Farrow, defends Allen

Soon-yi Previn, wife of Woody Allen, reveals details of relationships

Soon-yi Previn has become the latest soldier in the long, venomous war of words between Woody Allen and his estranged onetime partner Mia Farrow.

Previn, the wife of filmmaker Allen, accused her adoptive mom of abusing her, describing her as an opportunist who took advantage of the #Metoo moment to recycle her story about his alleged sexual abuse of her daughter Dylan.

In a series of discussions with author Daphne Merkin, Previn defended her husband of 20 years and recounted the earliest days of their romance, recalling that she was a “goner” from their first kiss.

The 47-year-old opened up about her controversial marriage to the filmmaker in a New York magazine article released Sunday night, saying she was “completely attracted to him, physically and sexually.”

Previn, who was adopted from South Korea by Farrow and her thenhusband composer Andre Previn at age 6, also revealed that she and her mother got along “like oil and water.”

She first met the reclusive actor when she was 10, and he was introduced to the children as Farrow’s boyfriend, she said in a rare interview.

“Woody wasn’t interested in meeting us children. And the feeling was mutual; we weren’t interested in meeting him,” Previn told Merkin, who is a friend of Allen’s. “I hated him because he was with my mother, and I didn’t understand why anyone could be with such a nasty, mean person. I thought he must be the same way.”

More than a decade later, during Previn’s first semester at Drew University in New Jersey, their relationship, which Allen called a “fling,” became sexual.

“I think Woody liked the fact that I had chutzpah when he first kissed me and I said, ‘I wondered how long it was going to take you to make a move,’” she said in an email to New York magazine. “From the first kiss I was a goner and loved him.”

Allen and Farrow broke up in 1992, when he and Soon-yi became a couple. The two married in 1997.

As for Dylan Farrow’s allegations that Allen sexually abused her as a child, Previn blamed Mia Farrow.

“What’s happened to Woody is so upsetting, so unjust,” she said. “(Mia) has taken advantage of the #Metoo movement and paraded Dylan as a victim. ”

Mia Farrow’s children jumped to her defense after the article published. Dylan Farrow said Sunday night that the piece included “bizarre fabrications.”
